In Episode 44 we provide our hot take review of Carpe Diem covering the mechanisms, the production, exciting moments in play, and our overall feelings of the game. We also discuss why dry euro games may not fit for us all and compare Carpe Diem to Stefan Feld’s most popular game with some similar mechanisms: Castles of Burgundy.
We also discuss some games we’ve been playing including Hearts, Manila, MicroMacro: Crime City, and Hadrian’s Wall and some games we’re excited about including Robot Quest Arena.
